Maxine grew up on a small farm in southern Oregon. She came to the Lord while attending Bible Study Fellowship in 1982. Her family began to see that living life as a Christian was having a positive impact on how they treated each other at home. Maxine gained her life coach training from Western Seminary, is on the board of Oregon Christian Writers, holds membership with the American Association of Christian Counselors, and belongs to the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW).

Maxine and Charlie Marsolini became an example of opposites attracting, marrying, and learning how to appreciate one another’s unique God-given qualities.

Charlie and Maxine’s marriage of 37 years began after both were divorced and parents of young children. A lack of harmony at home confirmed their desperate need to find wisdom for their blended family’s sake. Prior to the Lord opting to take Charlie to his heavenly home in 2012, they shared a love for travel, creating memories with family and friends, and encouraging others to build thriving families rooted in the timeless values found in Biblical principles. Those same goals remain a solid part of Maxine’s work. Contact information: www.rebuildingfamilies.net
